CaseTrust
The SAA-GE is one of the first few organizations to be awarded the CaseTrust for Education accreditation by the Consumer Association of Singapore. The recognition affirms our good business practice and commitment to our customers. The CaseTrust for Education scheme has been customized specifically by CASE for the education industry in Singapore. The scheme will enhance the confidence of international students and their parents in the quality of education in Singapore.
The regulatory framework focuses on building trustworthiness, professionalism, as well as business and academic excellence. It has two tiers, first, an essential or mandatory tier, which requires Private Schools to ensure high quality student welfare practices and standards and gives Private Schools the right to enroll international students. Second, a voluntary tier, tied to privileges, is focused on enhancing business and academic excellence. CaseTrust for Education is part of the essential tier under the regulatory framework.
A PEO that achieves CaseTrust for Education is certified as an organization that possesses the foundation for good quality student welfare/protection practices and standards. The PEO will have the following mechanisms in place:
- Clear Fee Policies
- Well-Defined Student Redress Practices and Systems
- Disclosure of the PEOs Commitment of Quality
- Well-Trained Personnel
